Why Conspiracy Theories?

If it's not Padraig, it's his separated-at-birth identical twin. Check out this display of rhetorical virtuosity:

Reasonable Men everywhere will applaud you wholeheartedly for having had the guts to speak your mind about Conspiracy Theorists. What can we hope for next? An incisive essay about the curse of Political Correctness? Something straight-to-the-point about the threat of Islamofascism? Perhaps you'll share your cutting-edge thoughts about the nuisance of Uppity N*ggers?

So someone who doesn't have much truck with conspiracy theorists is very probably also a white supremacist? Because white supremacists are well known for never, ever entertaining conspiracy theories, oh no siree. :rolleyes:

You've got to love that dismissal of 'Reasonable Men'...one of HMLT's favourite bogeymen was "common sense" (or, as he inexplicably called it, "commonsense"), meaning that presumably he much preferred rarefied lunacy. Which pretty much fits to a T, really. Nomad, are you sure it's not him? The style's the same, down to the letter.

Don't you think it might be a little kinder to leave him alone?

Yeah, Qlipoth is the blog of Le Colonel Chabert. She posted stuff on my own blog under that name.

Padraig's blog is called The Kubrikian Gaze.

Well I didn't post anything on that blog, so presumably he can't see what I just wrote. Unless he still lurks on Dissensus after having been banned three times, wouldn't surprise me...you're probably right though.

P.S.
masturbatory (excuse the pun) aside: i quite like this new layout, spare.

(sorry if this is dead dead late, this is only about my second day back on this year!)

I'm kinda with Impostume on that one.

But LCC is a pretty hardcore materialist, which is refreshing in fascist modernist internet blogosphere land.

rip this joint please
it's like the old days!

Qlipoth has a fascinating shouting-match with Owen H under that latest post (perhaps not surprising, given Owen and Poetix are namechecked in, er, rather a detrimental fashion near the start).

i dig the Colonel for interventions at Nomad's blog, such as here. (am also grateful to Nomad's blog for finding out about the Cultural Parody Center.)

it's all a bit like a Theory version of Craner and Luka bantering about Craner's politics. ;)

(except rather more serious, it seems.)

i was under the impression that at least a couple of people posted at the qlipoth blog. and it goes back to 2005.

Qlippoth is HMLT. Unmistakably. Le Colonel Chabert appears in the comments under her own sig.

No she doesn't!

I swear, she posted comments on my blog as Qlipoth. Then somebody else who blogs on Qlipoth posted something and said he's called MacCruiskeen. He's *not* HMLT, unless HMLT has moved to Germany.

Of course, now this thread is turning into a conspiracy theory.

And I somehow managed to get involved, I don't know how. I'm like a drive by I guess.

I just like the constant stream of information, really. Like I wouldn't be following this important debate without it... and what's wrong with narcissism? It does often seem 'perversely' solipsistic though.

Since you can't really go into any depth or say anything (of substance) with much precision in 140 characters, most of the stuff people say ends up pretty ambiguous. So you can take it whichever way you want really... it's like - I've only just started using it - but I like it where people say 'deep stuff', and you're wondering whether they really were being 'deep' or just incredibly shallow, since it's impossible to tell given the lack of follow up thought... I liken it to poetry, or to David Lynch.

I know, right? This shit makes me feel like Nick Cohen or something.

It's not all bad, but as far as technology goes it's just sort of like an internet text message. It's really not all bad. But there's never anything good on there.

Like half the people on my list post obsessively all day to the point where you can't even follow what they're saying. Then most of the others are rarely if ever on.

It seems sort of like the pornography of instant web communication--so much exhibitionism about it. Not to mention passive-aggression.

I think I preferred Padraig's philosophical views to Quilpoth's though. Mainly because iirc, it seemed to be that the best thing we can do, is to do nothing. Actually I think they'd be pretty much opposed philosophically (excepting the fact that they're both - probably - Marxists), all they have in common is this hysterical, 'unreasonable' style.

But at least it's all anticommonsensical.
